Promotion of women’s football in rural areas

Through the project “Promotion of women’s football in rural areas”, at the beginning of 2017, several workshops were held in elementary schools in the Vogošća and Ilijaš areas, and two girls football teams were formed very quickly. The girls of the team NOVA ŽENA from Vogošća and Ilijaš crowned their regular one-year training process with a football match in February 2018 within the jubilee 20th men’s football tournament in Vogošća. This was a unique opportunity to promote women’s football in small communities, with support of Mediterranean Women’s Fund.

It all started in October 2016 as a two-day event. As part of the anti-discrimination campaign “FootballPeople” (Fare network), NOVA ŽENA held a workshop for girls who love football, and the next day those girls played a football match in Semizovac. The rest is history.
